Question 1

A 6 F800 node Isilon cluster has one subnet with two IP pools with LACP aggregated 10GigE
interfaces from all the nodes in the Data-Zone Access Zone. The NFS-Pool with dynamic IP
Allocation schema and SMBPool with static IP Allocation schema are being used.
All the Linux clients are accessing Isilon exports using NFSv3 via the NFS_Pool. All the Windows
clients are accessing Isilon shares using SMBv3 via the SMB_Pool.
While deploying Isilon, the customer reserves the whole network subnet for Isilon. The customer is
facing performance issues with a new workload that is accessing the Isilon via Kerberized NFSv4.
What is recommended when creating a new IP pool for NFSv4 clients?
A. Dynamic IP Allocation in the System access zone
B. Dynamic IP Allocation in the Data-Zone access zone
C. Static IP Allocation in the System access zone
D. Static IP Allocation in the Data-Zone access zone
